why do they sterelize needles for lethal injections?

Question:

Answers:
Believe it or not it is a federal law that all injections lethal or not be santitized but here's one more juicy tid bit the state when executing a prisoner has 3 tries to execute you say for example you don't die from the first second or third try they have to set you free that's the law and should you get an infection and sue them for that untreated infection..........well let's just say that's our legal system for ya, there only out for themselves even to this extreme

Other Answers:
That's a good question. I've always wondered that myself.

Your question is an interesting one indeed. I didn't know this was done. I do not know. But great question.

your right, thats WHACK

To prevent infecting the officers doing the injection

because they dont want them to go to hell and be sick. haha

so as not to cause undo pain

That was part of a joke email circulated about a thousand times...

the answer is...they don't.

Needles come pre-packed and already sterilized.

No such thing as a company that sells dirty needles.

Good Question? Just habit I spose.

I guess they don't wanna feel guilty for giving the poor person aids or something on top of killing them. No, seriously, I don't know.

thats a really good question. maybe they feel that it is ok to play god and kill people (which in certain circumstances i think is fine) but at the same time they feel that thy are not to contaminate the dead body?

ok im clueless but good question

More than likely the needles already come prepackaged and sterile.

Perhaps in case the person doesn't die and then gets sick they won't sue. Or perhaps to avoid any nutcase that says that it would be "cruel and unusual punishment."

lmao.....that is the craziest thing I have ever heard. I hadn't given it any thought until just now. Ha!

Coz they wanna be sure to kill the person only from the lethal injection and not by the infection.....i dont see the logic.....but some procedures are plain stupid.

cause thats how they are packaged

They do that? I`m against killing! Why should let him get away that easy? There`s a procedure witch make them do that! They ha dto do that by the book! If not the con hada one right: to cancel the execution!

To make sure that the condemned die only because of the effects of the specified drugs they given to them, and because he deserves the right to die with dignity.

All needles are disposable, one time use, and come in a sterilized plastic wrap. We don't live back in the 60's when needles where reused many times and had to be sterilized and resharpened between uses. the only place you can find a dirty needle these days is discarded in a needle box or from a junkie- they still share needles.

WHAT A HORRIBLE THOUGHT!

DO THEY REALLY DO THAT ?

HOW DO YOU KNOW

Needles and syringes
are always supplied in sterilized packs
these days ,
so, if that could be the reason.

( lethal injections) to kill people , is a dreadful thought ,

but then, i am against execution and also euthanasia

<<the state when executing a prisoner has 3 tries to execute you say for example you don't die from the first second or third try they have to set you free that's the law>>

there is no proof that this is the case. in the case of lethal injection a more than lethal dose of the final two chemicals is delivered ensuring a prompt (and certain) death.

the needles are pre-sterilized as has already been reported. also the chemicals are preloaded and released automatically. no human delivers lethal injection.

Needles come sterilized.. what do you want them to do.. reuse them?
